ANE: Where to place DLLs required by an ANE when debugging via ADL?

[Adolio]

Hello there!

I would need a bit of help to understand where should/could I place my DLLs required by an ANE when using the AIR debugger (ADL).

Basically, I'm using this extension https://github.com/RossD20Studios/FRESteamWorks and everything works fine if I place the required DLL (steam_api.dll (32-bit) and steam_api64.dll (64-bit) ) aside the adl.exe in my AIR SDK binary folder.

I noticed later that this post is also confirming my approach: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9823504/how-to-use-external-dll-in-air-native-extension

Ideally, I would like my DLLs to be placed aside my debug build because the extension also requires a configuration file which needs to be placed at the same location (steam_appid.txt). This file could be dependent to the way I build the project (different app id for different configuration).

I tried to play around with the extdir option available in the launch.json but I didn't manage to make it work as I wanted - the DLLs couldn't be found by the ADL.

Did I miss something?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help

I don't really have a lot of experience with ANEs. It might be better to ask in https://github.com/airsdk/Adobe-Runtime-Support/discussions

Thanks,

I finally manually put them in the SDK aside the adl executable. I didn't find any better solution atm.
